Bollywood Hungama - Taran Adarsh's Rating: 4Bol Bachchan is a dhamaal entertainer that has the Rohit Shetty stamp all over it. A film that pays homage to the cinema of 1970s and 1980s, especially the ones made by Manmohan Desai. Big stars, big visuals, big entertainment, Bol Bachchan has it all.

Times of India - Gaurav Malani's Rating: 3.5For a (pleasant) change, Rohit Shetty doesn't do Golmaal 'his' style. Rather he does Golmaal in its 'original' form and that's what creates a decent difference, making Bol Bachchan fairly entertaining!

Mid-Day - Janhavi Samant's Rating: 3.5Bol Bachchan is a robust, unapologetic farce. It is full of one-liner Prithvisms, and the usual far-fetched gags. And like most Rohit Shetty films, it will probably make you wonder at the utter cheek of the filmmaker, even as it makes you laugh. And that's what matters: Bol Bachchan makes you laugh out loud, quite hard at times, at the inanity and the innovation, the absurdity and the audacity.

India Today - Vinayak Chakravorty's Rating: 2.5The film never quite manages to be rip-roaring fare. As Abbas/Abhishek piles on the lies to outwit the gullible Prithvi, you spot gross lack of comic chemistry between the two lead stars. Far from being LOL stuff, Bol Bachchan ends up being Bore Bachchan, with a lame climax.

Hindustan Times - Anupama Chopra's Rating: 2The best thing about the film is Abhishek Bachchan, who lets loose without inhibition. He manages to sparkle even in a script that is lazy and determinedly lowbrow, so the alter ego Abbas is an effete dance teacher who wears flowery shirts.

DNA - Aniruddha Guha's Rating: 2Bol Bachchan, overall, falls short of being a laugh riot in spite of having the ammunition for it. In its current form, it's best enjoyed inebriated.

NDTV - Saibal Chatterjee's Rating: 1.5Be warned. Bol Bachchan is a comedy so absurd that it could reduce you to tears of despair. Conversely, if you have the stomach for such rampant silliness, it might propel you into paroxysms of delight. The call is entirely yours.
